I'm not quite sure whether you're arguing for one of the variants, but
UBS4/NA27 has hO PATHR MOU hO\ DEDWKEN MOI PANTWN MEIZON ESTIN, KAI OUDEIS
DUNATAI hARPAZEIN EK THS CEIROS TOU PATROS. This reading suggests either
"What the father has given me is greater than everything ..." or else,
"What the father has given me is greater (than what) all fathers (have
given their sons). So I'd think that any parallel has to be with a reading
that has the masculine form MEIZWN rather than the neuter form MEIZON.
